The Ashford Designer Outlet is a shopping centre in Ashford, Kent, England.

The McArthurGlen Ashford Designer Outlet was designed by the Richard Rogers Partnership and engineers Buro Happold, and opened in March 2000. There are over 120 designer brands located at the shopping outlet.

On 15 November 2013, the Ashford Designer Outlet confirmed plans to almost double in size.[1] In early 2018, extensive work began to allow new establishments,[2] which was completed in November 2019.[3] In 2020 the biggest European green wall (a wall covered in plants and vegetation) was added to the designer outlet, as part of an overall £90 million expansion to add 100,000 additional square feet of retail space.[4]
